No! we were taking out the competition, the U.S. gov helps Hamid Karzai's brother grow and sell opium in exchange for protection in Kandahar. This is a known fact, I don't need to go to Afg. to know this.<br /><br />More than likely the U.S. will apply this template to MX if they haven't started already. consider the fact the BP is already flying drones across the border.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-32497237046905221692010-07-05T22:34:52.347-06:002010-07-05T22:34:52.347-06:00"Besides if the government was making money o..."Besides if the government was making money on drugs my taxes would be lower."<br /> Woooooohahahahooooooo oh gawd, oh gawd! wo heehee hee haha!

Congress must increase level and funding for at least 300k act mil. Then review how our current occupation of AfPak and Iraq has been working out, by people who've been there, done that at:<br />www.atimes.com<br />Apparently not working out so good. Then on US side, how to combat gargantuan levels of addiction to marijuana, cocaine, heroin? 2nd Amendment right of free access to guns, ammo, grenades and more? Not likely.

The U.S. is overwhelmed because to address the problems of its southern neighbor it must address its own issues with immigration reform, Drug policy, and gun control.

Open your Eyes. And the U.S. is not fixing our problem, they are aggravating it. It would help if they quit selling the narcos weapons, and quit facilitating the importations of drugs into your nation. Of course not much can be said of ours, because it seems that narcoism is becoming a cultural trait - not one to be proud of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-18010898556153454142010-07-03T15:54:58.551-06:002010-07-03T15:54:58.551-06:00Unbelievable!
